Anyone know of a PTO or belt driven corn sheller in the Southeast?
A friend wants one and asked me to check around.

How far away do you want to go for one? There is probably quite a few stashed away in the back corner of sheds in midwest corn country. I would think there might be some in the southern Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas area.

Might be easier and cheaper to find a small combine and just feed the ear corn in the head. Old small machines are just about worthless as far as trying to sell. Saw a video not long ago of this.
Ottowa? Never seen one of those.
Around me, southern MN, there were about 90% Minneapolis Moline sheller, 8% JD shellers, and a couple others.
The MM model “D” was popular with the average livestock farm, the bigger model “E” was used by the traveling sheller guys that traveled around and shelled out cribs in late summer. The E turned into the model 1200, then 1210. I wouldn’t want to try to keep up shoveling into an E or 1200!
Always enjoyed shelling out the crib, uncle owned a sheller and he did his and ours. Then we got our own sheller, cribbed until somewhere around 2010. Always worked with a MM D.

Paul,
Might actually be Ottawa... I think my husband kept the serial plate. If yes, I will get a pic of it (when this sub-zero weather subsides).
Husband always enjoyed shelling out the crib too. I always thought it was kinda crazy.
One year a wall of the south crib gave out... corn ALL over the ground. That was fun!!
He spent that summer totally rebuilding both wood cribs.
We also had a round metal crib. That required a lot of shoveling compared to the wood cribs which high foundations to put a dragline under and the center of the floor being removable.

We started out with a D then later got an E. Had the Ford truck, 10 ft. box held 200 bushels. With the E we could fill it in 12 min.
